Wow can't say that I'm surprised Mew made a song that can be played backwards. I can honestly say it is the ONly backwards song I've ever actually enjoyed. Mew, I just really frigging love you.(:
I think this is about being nervous that you would spill your drink while you were experiencing the apocalypse in Hawaii after scoring a great new album whilst on vacation.
I'm thinking Denmark must be some crazy place like Narnia to make such powerful and enchanting music like this! Does anyone know if they are making another album yet? I need moooore.
What's really clever is that whether your play it forwards, or backwards, there are two vocal tracks playing simultaneously (both forward and backwards).
i think its more creepy but smart ? that vid....repeaterbeater....the concept xD.....some ppl say they were really imnotized or wharever its spelled xD......
I see New Terrain from the perspective of a child who is amazed with the wonderful world around him and is determined to explore as much as he can with his friends.
Then, Nervous, seems to be from the perspective of the same child but now as an adult, and now with his own child. He gets nervous, because he loves him so much, he wants nothing to happen to him. He forgets that his child is a dreamer and explorer, just as he was.
I love how songs can become even more beautiful when played backwards, it's such a different sound

Hey,
Does anyone why 'Nervous' isn't part of the album,
I really like both songs and I think the idea is nothing short of spectacular,
so I don't get why they only put 'New Terrain' on there :S
Do you know something I don't??
Thanks and Merry Christmas mates

The most amaizing thing to me is that both Nervous and New Terrain have quite understandable lyrics.

This song is about humanity..because we think we control our lives ..adn itsn't..

I can hear something in the background!
''Argue argue. I've never been as nervous. Unleash the power, see you.''
Can anybody else hear it too?

@danieeel31 Hey mate, I don't think I would have heard it if you hadn't made me aware of it,
but now I can totally hear it too and it kind of creeps me out a bit, how about you?
and what do you think it means??
Merry Christmas mate

@JimTH80 I have no idea what it means either. :P I'm so proud that I found something ''hidden''! ^^
And as a reply for your other comment, Nervous can be found at the vinyl album. :)

I reversed Starflyer 59's GOLD album. HAUNTING!! But nothing unusual. You can't understand Jason Martin very well frontwards on that album either.
But listening to INDIANA, track 9, it made me want to cry.

Kinda sounds the same as New Terrain. Cool idea though!
lukey7717 2 years ago 3
That's because it is New Terrain.
New Terrain was recorded backwards, so when played in reverse its a new song called Nervous.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
Sonic Youth released an ep in the mid 80´s with 5 tracks that both worked forward and backwards. + loads of other bands have done so too after.
Big deal.
